Bitches, should you go visit lisah and sarameg, be warned that they will feed you very, very well.
It's one of my skills!
Hope you had a good time! It was great being able to hang out some.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Timelies all. I'm miserable and sick with spotty internets, but I did note that the Redmond campus was briefly Microsoft Escort Service on Google Maps: [link]

Oh, goodness. My asthma is bad. Last night my peak flows got lower than I ever let them get, and I don't think I really even slept. Have to see my PCP at 12:30 so he can prescribe more steroids. And I have to decide if I want to start fighting the hospital/Medicare/Drug Company to try to get the medication that would stop all of this insanity. I just can't keep doing this. It's officially too much.
I was on the phone with the nurse this morning, crying, telling her that it takes every ounce of energy to breathe, and I'm just so worn down. Now, this was a nurse I've never met before, and she said, "I can hear it. I can hear it."

{{{vw}}} I'm so sorry you are having such asthma trouble and that you have to do steroids again. I know how much you hate them. Take care.
Gronk. I accidentally fell asleep again after my last post. Thanks Shir, pain medication isn't really helping with this.

Well, if you made a pro/con list, on the pro side would be that, ultimately, you'd have the medication, which would improve your health. So, MAJOR pro.
On the con side, though, is how much energy it will take to fight that fight, and the question is, do you have that energy? Or, maybe a better question is, *will* you have it, after you see your PCP today and get started on steroids? (I don't mean "will you have more energy at 1:00 today?"; I mean, "will you have more energy in a few days?" I think you will, so maybe you can take up the fight then.)

Exactly. I just wrote about this in my LJ, actually. For me, it's a quality of life issue. I cannot keep coming back to this place--especially when there is a freaking medication that has like a 98% chance of completely controlling my asthma.
I think this is a time where I have to find the energy. Also, this isn't a fight just for me. This is a fight for a lot of people. There were at least 3 other people in my same situation the last time I was fighting this.

vw, you're an amazing person to worry so much about others when you're dealing so much yourself. I hope that you can get the meds you need.
